• 1．Whenever I heard strangers singing out loud，whether it was in the supermarket or on the street，I used to think how annoying it was.That was until a few months ago.
     Recently，my daughter Zoe started her second year of middle school with a new sense of awareness，asking me to fix the "little girl" pattern on her wheelchair seat.Not wanting her to stand out at school，I spent hours filling in pale yellow stars with a black marker，eager to erase whatever childish signs I could.Shortly after，Zoe got really sick and had to miss 20 days of school.This meant our days were filled with rushing between hospital appointments and meetings with the school，as we tried to make sure she didn't fall behind on her schoolwork.
     I felt pulled back to a time when she was little and her sickness was a huge part of her life.Back then，it seemed like Zoe lived in hospitals，as she spent so much time in them.No matter how sick she got，however，she always had a positive attitude.But this was different：Zoe was no longer singing like she normally did.Zoe usually sings all the time，whether she's playing，riding in the car，or just doing her homework.There was no need for a radio in our house；Zoe provided the music for us.Consumed （被折磨）with my motherly worries， it was more concerning to me than her sickness.
     One day，however，I heard her beautiful voice as I was cooking dinner.I stopped what I was doing and just smiled. "Pure delight. '' I thought to myself.Her voice slowly grew stronger，and soon，both the car and the house were filled with her music once more.How had I not noticed her singing had completely stopped，weeks and weeks ago？Now，thankfully，she's back in school，smiling and singing，and I'm thankful for each and every song she sings.
     These days，whenever I hear a stranger singing a song to themselves，I don't get mad.Instead，I smile，as I know that by singing out loud，they're simply sharing their happiness with the world.

• 2．In my hometown，Oklahoma，the dirt goes everywhere.When my sister，Faye，and I walk to school，we cover our mouths so we don't breathe in the dirt.Mama says all the dust is due to the drought（干旱）.
     Last Sunday，there was no dirt in the air，only bright spring sunshine and a clear blue sky.After church，Papa went to the field to check on the cattle while Mama started dinner.Faye and I played in the yard.Then the temperature suddenly dropped，and Mama shouted from the house， "Iris，you and Faye get inside，real quick now!"
     I looked to the west and saw a huge black cloud of dust. "Faye，go with Mama!" I shouted. "I will warn Papa." Covering my face with one hand，I struggled my way toward our family car and got in.The storm hit so fast that the day turned into night in an instant.Papa was still out there!I needed to help him find the car.I turned on the front lights，but would Papa see them in the thick darkness？I pushed the horn （喇叭） again and again，hoping Papa would hear it.
     Suddenly，to my great surprise and relief，Papa's face appeared at the window.He opened the door and climbed onto the seat next to me.After Papa shut off the car's lights，we huddled together in the darkness for hours.I worried the dirt would bury us.
     Finally，the wind subsided and the dust began to settle.We got out and reached the front porch just as Mama and Faye came out from the house.
     "I'm safe thanks to Iris，" Papa said. "The car's horn led me to shelter."
     "I'm so proud of you，" Mama said to me.
     Tears of joy streamed down my dirty checks because our family had survived the horrible storm.

• 3．My Ph.D.adviser informed me I had failed my qualifying exam on my third attempt，which meant dismissal from the program.How was it possible that one exam - one hour of my life - could define me as unfit to be a scientist？
     I wasn't sure what to expect when I started my Ph.D.program.I struggled with my classes during my first year，spending countless hours studying in the library.I ended that year with increased confidence.But soon my confidence went when I made my first attempt at the qualifying exam.I had switched research projects 5 months earlier，after my first adviser left the university，so I wasn't so confident going into the exam.Besides，I had never taken an oral exam before，so the experience was terrifying.
     Once it was over，my committee told me I'd conditionally passed，which meant I had to take more time to study and prepare to talk about the topic further.I was shaken but still hopeful.But when I retook the exam，I failed again.That's when I was told I'd have one more chance.
     For the next 5 months，I asked my committee chairs for guidance and practiced answering oral questions.I even stopped doing lab work to focus on my exam preparations.I was all in.
     When the exam was over，I left the room feeling a mix of fear and relief.But those feelings changed to disappointment the next day after I learned I'd failed.I speak Spanish at home，but I have difficulty translating even the simplest scientific concepts into Spanish.This hampered my ability to comfortably speak the expected "language of science."
      My adviser requested to reinstate（恢复）me to the Ph.D.program，and I'm now back to working on my doctorate.I still have a little voice in the back of my head that I'm not good enough.But I try to stop it by surrounding myself with professors who support me and by staying focused on developing into the great scientist I know I can be.I am much more than that one-hour exam.
  
  （1）How did the author feel by the end of the first year？

  
  A．Confident.
  B．Terrified.
  C．Worn out.
  D．At a loss.
  （2）Why did the author switch her research project？

  
  A．She found it too hard for her.
  B．Her adviser dismissed her from it.
  C．She failed the qualifying exam.
  D．Her adviser no longer worked there.
  （3）What affected her performance in the third exam？

  
  A．Lack of preparation.
  B．Decreased confidence.
  C．Insufficient language skills.
  D．Too much time on lab work.
  （4）Which word best describe the author？

  
  A．Intelligent.
  B．Sensitive.
  C．Energetic.
  D．Determined.

• 4．Having a learning disability doesn't mean you can't learn.Learning disabilities happen because of the way a person's brain takes in and processes information.（1）

  The trick will be figuring out how you learn best.
     Learning disabilities aren't contagious（传染的），but they can be genetic.That means they can be passed down in families through the genes，like many other traits we get from our parents and grandparents.Someone with a learning disability probably has other family members who have some learning troubles，too.Kids with learning problems are sometimes surprised to find out that one of their parents had similar troubles when he or she was in school.（2）

  
     Learning experts now know a lot more about the brain and how learning works.It's very hard for a kid to know if he or she has a learning disability.But kids don't have to figure all this out on their own.（3）

  Start with your teacher and your mom or dad.
     Finding out you have a learning disability can be upsetting.（4）

  But the truth is that learning disabilities are pretty common.And if your learning specialist or psychologist has figured out which one you're facing，you're on the right track.Now，you can start getting the help you need to do better in school.
     To make this special help really work，you'll need to practise the new skills you're learning.It may take a lot of efforts every day.（5）

  Soon，you'll enjoy the results of all your hard work：More fun and success at school!
  
  A.As a result，some people learn differently.
  B.What a kid needs to do is to tell someone.
  C.That can be a challenge，but you can do it.
  D.You might feel different from everyone else.
  E.There are people who know how to do just that.
  F.But kids today have an advantage over their parents.
  G.But you'll need some help and you'll need to work extra hard.
